One thing that we wanted to get working before 3.4 was making legends
work with the fltk graphics backend.  Even if we add legends to the
fltk graphics backend, I don't think we should make it the default
yet.  Does printing work properly with it yet?

Except for some bugs, is there anything else that would prevent 3.4
from being released?

Which bugs should prevent the release from happening?  I don't think
it is realistic to try to fix all of the currently open reports in the
tracker, so we need to mark any important ones as "blocking" (or
similar) and not allow the release until those are fixed.

Other than these things, I'm OK with going forward with the 3.4
release now.
